Hi Ronie,
Thanks a lot for your help solving the problem so fast! It's a pity
that due to this the add-on is no longer available under Frodo repo,
but I understand that's the way it works, no problem with that.
By the way, is there any way for the developers/maintainers to be
informed whenever some of our add-ons are broken?
I would like to fix any bug popped up in the future as soon as any of
the add-ons I maintain suddenly appears as broken, if there is a way
to be aware of that.
Usually, the two most common problems with add-on failures, once they
became active and running fine for a while are: a website modification
from where the add-on gets the info, or a dependency broken (for the
same reason).
Running some unit testing from time to time helps to detect the first
cause (the problem is to trigger the unit tests on a periodic basis
;-)), but the second one is harder to detect, as the unit tests cannot
call the external dependencies in order to try reproduce the media
from the popular CDNs to which the add-on dependency is made for.
If there is any way from time to time to be warned with the broken
add-ons (maybe there is something already into the forums or the wiki,
that I honestly ignore), it would helps a lot to the maintainers
community to keep the add-ons working as much time as possible, with
the minimal impact for the add-ons they depends on (and the users that
enjoy them :-)).
Of course, all of this is a personal thought as a suggestion to help
prevent any add-on from be removed by accident in the future.
Once again, many thanks for all your help and time in fixing this.
Best regards,
jamontes.
hi jamontes,
we are slowly closing down our frodo repo. first by removing anything
that's broken, next by removing addons that already have been submitted
to the gotham repo
and finally we'll move all remaining addons to gotham manually. in
short, your addon was about the lose frodo support either way :-)
as for broken reports, you should open a support thread on our forum for
your addon(s), if you have not done so already.
that gives your user the abillity to report issues there.
we're looking into other ways as well, there are some ideas to integrate
some kind of broken reporting options into our addons website
http://addons.xbmc.org/
so maybe in the future that'll be another option.
cheers,
ronie
